I was witness to the events and can testify on the behalf of Lefty and the Admins that run Dallas 22. I am a regular on Dallas 22, it is pretty much the only place I play. I go by the name NFC Angel -ll-. I am a 12 year member of an online gaming community called No Fear Gaming. We currently provide a public teamspeak for the players of Dallas 22. At the time all of this took place there was about 7 of us in the teamspeak that witnessed and participated in the events that led to the banning of the 37.miller guys and their friend that went by the name dontmindme. I Flipped my ATV near cherno, a regular and a member of our gaming community named Los7 -ll- came to try and help me flip it up right, but it exploded lol. After that lost headed back to where we had established a base in the tractor, and upon arriving was shot at by the members of 37.miller. Everyone was away from base at that time, so we all started to head back to base. lost and Kranoes(another regular) along with lefty made their way back to base first, and got into a firefight. Lefty and Kranoes were both killed, but before lefty got killed he lit up one of the 37.miller boys with a LMG, and before he could kill him the brat disconnected. Disco #1 After that there was no one at the base, so everyone was still scrambling to make it back to the area to defend our loot. after a couple of people died and made the run back to base, we finally ran into the 37.miller kids again. this time we had them cornered. We had Ferran, with an L85 to the north along with Oats, me to the north west, and lefty and kranoes to the south, literally boxing them in at the industrial district of Berazino. Ferran had eyes on, and lit up 2 of the 3 guys, 4 hits on one and 3 on another. So instead of turning around and fighting, all three of you disconnected like a bunch of cowards with your tails between your legs. Disco #2 3 and 4 You raided our camp - nice job, it was hidden very well. You destroyed our loot- shitty, but that is the name of the game. You blew up the vehicles - Your morons, you should have kept them. You did not get banned for anything other than being cowardly children who disconnected in a firefight, instead of standing up and taking your licks like men. It says in the server message every 10 minutes that if you disconnect during a firefight, you will get banned. This is in accordance and allowed by rocket, as disconnecting is an exploit of the game to avoid death. Furthermore, you are in no way shape or form regulars on Dallas 22. We have a group of 15 or so players that are constantly on the server. I have never seen you guys at all except for the last 2 days. I am on the game at random times, and I know who frequents our server, since I have made Dallas 22 my home. Lefty and the other admins on Dallas 22, take their role as Admins very seriously, and try and safeguard the players on Dallas 22 from Hackers exploiters, ghosters and such. They govern the players Fairly, and without bias. I am older now, and I do not tend to hang around with punk kids who troll and get their kicks off of being assholes. Lefty and the group he is with, are all Level headed mature gamers who take the game seriously, and try to keep the server held to those standards. So in closing, If you come to Dallas 22 and get into a firefight, do not disconnect until you or your adversary is dead, otherwise it will result in a ban. P.S. I do not understand the reason the moderator has banned lefty from the forums, there was no warning of misconduct. He alone pays for a server that perpetuates the livelihood of this mod, creating a safe and fair environment for like-minded players to play and enjoy the game. I am requesting on the behalf of lefty for another moderator, who is not bias, to review this thread and give ample reason as to the banning of a server admin who has up until now, had no reports of misconduct or foul play. Again, you are not a dev, you are a moderator curgon. You ask for proof, which is not in your authority to ask for, then you ban the admin because he tells you what he thinks. If this is the way the Dayz mods and Devs treat the admins who keep this game safeguarded from hackers and exploiters, then this game is doomed. You sir, have abused your powers as a moderator, and the proof is already posted in this thread.

I personally don't have an issue with people being resourceful and preparing for their eventual death. If you manage to survive long enough and gain enough decent gear, why not store it? If it makes you any happier my group have had a base both within the 20x20 limit and one outside the limit, and guess what has happened both times to us when we've acquired a good amount of gear?.... It's got stolen and we've been ambushed! From my own experience, setting up bases over time and putting so much effort into it often leads to a fairly negative consequence eventually. Just like death, the fact of the matter is... someone WILL find your base and eventually they will steal everything they can, and grief you by destroying or damaging the vehicles they can't steal! That's the beauty of this game. Even if you set up bases to restock yourself, sooner or later, someone is going to steal everything and your going to be back to square one. Regardless of how many people you team up with!

I don't like the idea of permanent storage. Nothing in this game should be permanent. Even vehicles are a little too permanent for my liking.

I would say the speed should be implemented as soon as the vehicles are fixed.

Welp having played shittons of ARMA (mostly warfare mode). I consider myself a tactician. Your plan is good, however, any 2 man group could take you down. It seems that u guys roll in WAY too obvious. It appears that you overuse the vehicles (unless u disembark in a heavily wooded forest FAR away), and rely on the fact that u have a chopper. A single sniper could easily end any hope of an exfil and could easily wipe out your squad. I have ahd plenty of times where my overwatch has failed and i have lost a good chopper team or friend (lol). Overall, your reliance on vehicles and snipers will be your death.

If you add in Skills that a player can learn- like from a found book on medicine or fixing vehicles- would make players themselves more valuable where a clan might not shoot the random player if say he will help them medicine or some other item/issue. All players would start the same but there would be ways to build some skill sets/focus which adds to a player being more valuable alive then dead.......but still keep an eye on them in case of backstabbing. But this will give players a chance to prove themselves to a group- build trust. Once people start building a social network then the ones who are just here for pking will end up being hunted down or they will embrace the new game mechanics that are geared to survival and society building/ social. Yes there will be groups who will fight for territory but that is what we see in the Show The Walking Dead and other shows/movies on this type of game. To prove my trust to people I meet, i offer items/food/ ammo and also allowing the person I'm with to call first dibs on weapons..etc....This usually calms them down and shows them I do have their back.

In-game? Yes I do. I joined a group that was suppose to be friendly oriented. When we got about 12 guys together officially our mentality towards the mod changed completely. We got killed by DC'ers. Had our vehicles stolen by freshies. Rival groups started popping up and revenge was in the air. Our friendly group turned into kill everyone you see. That unarmed player over there? He might be the one who is in the DDS clan and killed Bob last night. Kill him.

Every second I delay you from getting good gear and weapons on my home servers is good enough for me. Oh and you could have been that asshole who killed me before. That is why myself and the people I play with shoot everyone. Also if a group has a vehicle, unarmed players can steal a weapon from it or get in and drive away. We kill everyone in raids of cities not only because of the things above, but you can aggro zombies to us, steal our vehicles, steal our loot we are raiding for, or giveaway our position.

Def sounds like one of your wheels is messed up. Can you visually see any of the wheels looking messed up at all? I know I personally had a wheel go out on one of my vehicles, and it was doing the same thing you're describing. When I mouse scrolled over the vehicle I was not getting any of the tires in red or anything. I ended up having to pull out a flare (it was pitch black out) and looking for the damaged wheel.

edit - Derped and made a typo in the title. I don't know about you guys, but I'm sick of people bragging about these tent cities and having all of this excess gear in their vehicles and tents. I think it completely defeats the purpose of the game! You're supposed to get attached to your character, not wanting to die, not wanting to put your life at to much risk and losing all of your gear. But this gear hoarding and tent cities completely ruin all of that. It's as though death doesn't matter with it, if you die then you just run back to your tents or vehicle and you're all geared up again, it's that easy. It's as though death doesn't matter or means very little, like other modern FPS games. Personally I think tents should only have 10 slots and vehicles even less, maybe even have it set to X amounts of tents can be set up in a certain area. I'd love to hear other peoples thoughts on this

My livestream does not show or explain the hacking it just shows how the server got nuked and everyone on it started complaining that they just died. It shows someone using the hack and does not show what or how it was used. Im pretty sure if someone wanted to hack they can just google it and find it thats how I found out wtf happend to me countless times and the vehicles. Ive stopped playing certain games like counterstrike and apb due to hackers and have zero tolerance for it as should rocket. This is a major problem and needs to be adressed its bad enough that there are killer rocks , trees , ladders and whatnot I dont need hackers shooting at me with thermal scope .50 cal sniper rifles and mass nuking entire servers while stealing my vehicles its stupid. Why should I bother working my ass off for gear just to die to one of the mentioned ways to die. I dont remmeber the last time a friggin zombie killed me or a legitimate player got me it is annoying.

+100. Also spawn more vehicles. Only cheaters and clan member have them. And they also cheat storing the off maps. Pathetic. Dude sorry' date=' but are you retarded ? Do I have to crawl for DAYS to the nearest hospital / tent ? You THAT stupid ? [/quote'] No, you're stupid. You think the game needs more vehicles? I have found SO many by myself. He didn't say you had to crawl, if you had morphine you could be up straight away, and crawling is an option, it doesn't take DAYS it takes about 20-30 minutes.

Do I have to crawl for DAYS to the nearest hospital / tent ? You THAT stupid ? [/quote'] How many times a day do you die? 200 times? I'll crawl to a freaking hospital looking for morphine if I have to, I wouldn't hit respawn with a bunch of gear on me..

I've also noticed a few of our vehicles lost all their contents. They were near some untouched tents so I doubt someone robbed them. I think it's a bug.

Hey dude!!! A bit do you mean 12 hours? :D:D:D Sorry bro, as above had to work!! Sucks!! I wish I was spending countless hours running around fields!! aha.. Pretty sure the guys did an op tonight and recovered a few vehicles! :)

Moaar, moaar. I have to admit, i do play the game like you do. Lone wolf, beginning in the western parts, looting everything, hiding, always wanting better gear, stealing and using vehicles from time to time and looking for players/tents but hardly finding anyone. And definitely not sure what to do IF i may look into a players eye. Tho' i am sometimes wildly shooting Zeds on the deer stands ... and immediately getting killed by players close by. So watch out, do your flare-thingy, don't get your bones broken.....and don't stop writing :). Was a good read, read it all. Now tired, nighttime.

We always make it a point to save our vehicles whenever we get in or out of them. This still occasionally happens to us though. Had a Mil-Offroad that we took out raiding one night. Hit the factory for parts, a hospital for med supplies and two crashed Helis where we pick up several bizons, an m107, and 2 NV-FALs. Next day after a server restart, all gear in the truck was gone. Other vehilces and tents nearby still had everything, just no gear in the offroad. Very sad panda...

NO. Only some cities worth looting. 99% of the is map useless. So NO. Make small town spawn some actual loot in front of non enterable buildings. Spawn shit load of vehicles in every town (ok not shit load, but 10x more than it is now) and then I may agree. Right now only NEAF and Cherno, Elektro, Sobors are worth looting. And I am NOT doing it on my legs. This game is flawed completely, so I WANT to know where I am to hit respawn till I am near Cherno

We had a hell of a lot of gear stored in tents and vehicles only to find everything had gone including the vehicles plus the tents had been flattend. After a server restart the vehicles turned up and the tents were back but only one vehicle had a couple of smoke nades in, watch, flashlight and one tent had tinned food, cooked meat and soda. All medical and weapons were gone.

From my experience it seems that if you save the vehicle before every server reser/crash. The gear within your vehicle is there. If a reset/crash happens and you haven't saved it, all the gear is gone. But the vehicle is still there. It seems that the vehicles will always remain where they are unless someone steals them or they are lost in a server/database glitch.

I don't know if it's worth it yet, I'll type it all out if anything continues to happen to continue to make me suspicious. Well, I would, though apparently I am no longer able to connect to the server, and keep getting kicked off. Basically it involved someone finding my campsite, me moving the remains to somewhere obscure, it being found again by the same people, me finding their site and watching it from afar, someone logging in and locking onto me as soon as they appeared, me moving back there and the same sudden login and death. I was watching the playerlist leading up to it out of curiosity to see if my suspicions would be confirmed. Now I can't connect I'm guessing they've decided to move their site. It's a relatively young server and has multiple copies of top-tier items, so either they've spent all day for the server's two weeks of existence farming and constantly hopping in to guard their camp (not impossible, since it seems to be restarted multiple times a day which would make heli crash farming pretty easy) or they're using third-party software. I only make this guess because I've been shown caps of hackers' maps which show the locations of all vehicles, players and tents, which would explain my gear being found easily by the same people over and over.

I have had this happen to my group as well a few times. It comes down to either you got raided and someone took the stuff, or it got wiped and was lost by the server somehow. Either way, the stuff is gone. Some would say it's Alpha, and don't get attached to your gear. I know personally we had a cars gear vanish but everything else in the camp was still present. No one took the vehicles or anything from our tents, just the one vehicle was empty. So it does happen. One thing that may help, not 100% sure but we do it anyway, is mouse scroll down on your vehicle and tent and use the "save" option often. But even then there is no guarantee you wont lose stuff.

Hey Danneh, haven't seen you in TS for a bit, what's the status on group vehicles?

Is it possible to remove parts from a vehicle?
